You could just draw the rectangle directly on the graphics of the
DrawRectangle:
graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, .3);
graphics.drawRect(_x,_y,_w,_h);
Because it extends MovieClip (or Sprite, hopefully, as Steven suggests, it
has its own graphics property.
Then you can think about renaming your class from DrawRectangle to
Rectangle, since it not only draws it, it is one.
